Alkenza supplies PMB 120 polymer modified bitumen for high-performance road construction and infrastructure projects. PMB 120 is enhanced with styrenic block copolymers (SBS) to deliver superior rutting resistance, improved fatigue life, and enhanced durability under heavy traffic loads. Available in steel drums, jumbo bags, and bulk tanker with FOB and CIF delivery worldwide.
PMB 120 is a polymer modified bitumen enhanced with styrenic block copolymers, typically styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). The polymer modification creates a three-dimensional elastic network within the bitumen matrix, significantly improving its mechanical properties and performance characteristics compared to conventional bitumen.
The designation 120 refers to the minimum elastic recovery at 25 degrees Celsius, measured as 80% or higher according to EN 13399 and ASTM D5974 standards. This high elastic recovery indicates superior flexibility and crack resistance, particularly important in regions with significant temperature variations.
PMB 120 delivers enhanced resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) at high temperatures, improved fatigue life under repeated loading, and better aging resistance. It is specifically formulated for premium infrastructure projects requiring long-term durability under heavy traffic conditions.
National highways with heavy commercial traffic.
Premium airfield pavement surfaces.
Superior high-temperature stability.
Extended pavement service life.

PMB 120 pricing reflects base bitumen costs, polymer prices, and premium infrastructure demand patterns.
SBS polymer pricing significantly impacts PMB 120 cost. Polymer markets fluctuate based on butadiene and styrene monomer prices.
PMB 120 pricing correlates with base bitumen costs as the primary raw material component. Crude oil markets affect final pricing.
Government infrastructure spending on highways and airports drives PMB 120 demand for premium projects.
While PMB 120 costs more than conventional bitumen, extended pavement life and reduced maintenance deliver lower lifecycle cost.
